Microbiomics Featured The solid tumor microbiome: friend or foe? Wait, there's a tumor microbiome?? Solid tumors account for the majority of cancers that occur in adults. You might be surprised to know that they also have their own microbiome!
DNA The structure of the DNA double-helix was published in 1953, but it took another 13 years to actually crack the genetic code. The questions of how DNA is copied and codes for proteins remained for a while after the structure was confirmed.
Microbiomics “The microbiome” isn't just one thing. It's lots of things. And each habitat has its own microbiome.
Paid-members only Genomic Sequencing Featured Quest Diagnostics has made some moves in an attempt to become a major player in high throughput genomics
DNA Chargaff’s Rule is the most basic rule of DNA A and T, and G and C are present in the same amounts in DNA. It’s the most basic rule of DNA. It’s also called Chargaff’s Rule.
Microbiomics Studying the microbiome is really just a lesson in ecology! Plants, animals, the soil, and even your toilet seat have a microbiome!
Microbiomics Featured Colorectal cancer has found a new best friend. Spoiler: It’s a bacteria from your mouth! Long-read sequencing can now help us figure out what makes the Fn bacteria found in CRC tumors tick.
DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material, but early on, most of science thought the genetic material was protein —that changed in 1952 Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material, but early on, most of science thought the genetic material was protein. That changed in 1952.
DNA Sometimes you gotta break a couple DNA strands to make a memory Or at least that's what recent research into memory formation in mice suggests!

Genomic Sequencing Commercial industrial engineering is the savior of high-throughput genomics We ‘completed’ the human genome in 2003, thanks mostly to commercial industrial engineering.
Genetics Genetic code expansion and how we get to designer proteins Genetic code expansion might be the coolest thing in Omics that you've never heard of.
Evolution Human fetal brain organoids: a controversial new platform A glimpse into the developing brain and a platform for future discovery
Microbiomics Featured Tumor immune microenvironments and how we can exploit them to fight cancer Tumors are bad. Understanding their microenvironment is key in our effort to amp up the immune system to fight them!
